Does AI use double hyphens? I thought the point was to find who wasn't AI that used proper em dashes.

Thank you, much better; the visuals supplement the words rather than try to distract and wow me.

I've only used CrapGPT a few times but if it starts working advertising into its responses (no ad blocking possible I'll assume), then that will be all I ever used it.

Even the article's author seems confused: > one of the very few satellites to have returned from its mission in space intact This makes it sounds like it was due to great luck rather than human decision. It's in fact one of the

So if we look at companies that didn't do as well, we find that they didn't do as well as those that did really well?

The "why I was afraid to admit it" is by far the best part of this. It gives a lot more insight and ideas to combat it.

"Secret" camera recorder on a phone. Runs in the background, so you just need to keep the gaslighting person in view.

Presumably the examples have the effect ramped up so it can easily be seen even on smaller screens.

The automatic play is what bothers me. When I'm done with a video, I reflect on it, and think what I want to do next, not necessarily watching another video the moment the first ends.

A bigger screen isn't better? I'll have to respectfully disagree. Having a huge screen on the PC has been a godsend. A PC isn't just a smartphone with a bigger screen. I keep a bunch of things open and fully visible at the sa

Interesting observation about everything effectively running in full-screen on a smartphone, taking it out of the larger context of whatever else you were doing before that.

Anyone who's able to stomach those short videos has to have cognitive deficits or mental issues. I'd rather watch an advertisement than those (and I can't stand watching advertisements).

I'd also ban autoplay of the next video. You have to be involved in choosing the next video to watch (or none).

Would it be a good idea to have a second instance of this watching the first one? /s

I actually made an LED sign for the rear of my van, with over a dozen messages, including some peaceful ones like yours (sorry, thanks). One was for headlights. I made it IR-controlled and used an older Android smartphone with IR blaster an

I leave plenty of distance and don't have that problem. Occasionally people do fill the space, perhaps because I'm providing a safer place than people tailgating. This reduced risk benefits me too. I just slow a little bit to re-e

Thanks for sharing. I tend to think people wearing masks these days are a little loony, but these are solid reasons for specific cases and environments. I wouldn't shun someone because they're wearing a mask, though. It seems like

I was with a friend who was driving and he literally said that the car in front of him was driving fairly close to him. I have a funny bumper magnet that says "sorry for driving so close in front of you" that mocks this inversion

A big cause on older cars is haze on the clear plastic that develops over the years. This makes even low beams spread so they blind oncoming drivers. There are kits where you polish and re-finish them, and they do make a noticeable differen
